INTRODUCTION 



The first question to be decided in writing this history 
was how to treat it. Possibly the best plan may not have 
been chosen. But the one adopted was to give our work 
by subjects, each as a whole, instead of reporting their 
progress through months and years, in connection with 
the other work of the Chapter. 

Lack of space necessitates the omission of many 
things, as, for instance, mention of the interesting and 
valuable presents given to the Chapter — loving notices 
of respect to our deceased members, etc., etc. 

And, again, the history gives the work of the Chapter 
more than the work of the members, for it would be 
impossible to mention all who have done good work, 
even if such lists were accessible. So the plan has been 
followed of mentioning only the chairmen or heads. 

This treating of our work by subjects has sometimes 
left a regency apparently bare, when, in fact, it was full 
of activity; but all plans had objections. 

A full list of the officers of the Chapter and of the 
members of the Board of Management is placed in an 
appendix, and also a list of the papers and recitations 
given before the Chapter by Its' members and by outsiders. 

With these explanation's, "and begging your indulgence 
for all imperfections, we present to you the history.

History of the Cincinnati Chapter 



After working together for fifteen years, it is well to 
pause and look back — to take a glimpse of our work in 
the mirror of time. Many interesting episodes are likely 
to be forgotten, if, indeed, they were ever known by our 
newer members, and results, as a whole, are much more 
impressive than when viewed, in piecemeal, as the months 
and years pass by. 

In glancing back over our past history, it seems to be 
divided into two rather distinctly marked eras — the first, 
of about six years, having been devoted to the develop- 
ment and upbuilding of the Chapter, and the other, of 
about nine years, to patriotic educational work. So well 
was this development and upbuilding accomplished, that 
at the end of this first era, the Chapter had reached its 
highest membership, two hundred and sixty-nine, while 
we now number two hundred and fifty-three. 

Many persons join patriotic societies merely for the 
sake of establishing the records of their descent from 
patriotic ancestors, without feeling much interest in the 
work being done by the society, and they are liable later 
to drop out. 

Since our organization seventy-four of our members 
have resigned, forty-three have been transferred to other 
Chapters or to the National Society, eleven have been 
dropped for non-payment of dues, and twenty-four have 
passed on to the higher life, making a total of one hun- 
dred and fifty-two members whom we have lost. 

The National Society of the Daughters of the Ameri- 
can Revolution was organized in Washington, D. C, on 

4 



October ii, 1890, and Mrs. A. Howard Hinkle, of Cin- 
cinnati, was elected State Regent of Ohio by the National 
Board of Management on February 4, 1892, and reelected 
to that office in 1893 and 1894. On April 27, 1893, Mrs. 
Hinkle organized the Cincinnati Chapter at her residence 
on Pike Street. It ranks third in the roll of Ohio Chap- 
ters, the Western Reserve Chapter, of Cleveland, organ- 
ized December 19, 189 1, being first, and the Mahoning 
Chapter, of Youngstown, organized April 18, 1893, being 
second. 

Our Chapter was chartered October 21, 1893, with the 
following charter members : 

Mrs. Margaret C. Morehead. 
Mrs. Virginia Moss Van Voast. 
Miss Catherine Ann Peale. 
Miss Mabel Cilley. 
Miss Virginia R. Van Voast. 
Mrs. Ivevietta B. Conner. 
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Arnold. 
Mrs. Eleanor H. Peters. 
Miss Kitty Piatt Goodman. 
Mrs. lyucy Goodman IveBoutillier. 
Miss Ella Strait Hollister. 
Mrs. Mary Arabella Carroll. 
Miss I/ily Broadwell Foster. 

Mrs. Brent Arnold was elected Regent of the Chap- 
ter at its first meeting, April 27, 1893 ; on account of 
illness she resigned in December, and Mrs. Van Voast 
was elected in her place. But as the latter declined the 
Regency, Mrs. Arnold was prevailed upon to retain the 
office for another year. 

After the Chapter was organized at Mrs. Hinkle's, its 
meetings were held at the rooms of the Historical Society, 
at the Public Library, at the Young Men's Christian 

5 



Association Building, and then for eight years at the Lit- 
erary Club, before coming to the Woman's Club in the 
Mercantile Library Building, where we have now been 
for four years. 

During the early years of the Chapter there was much 
attention paid to social and literary matters. Excellent 
patriotic papers were written by the members and read 
at the Chapter meetings, and social gatherings were fre- 
quently held at other times. 

In the early spring of 1894, Mrs. Curwin gave, at the 
Burnet House, under our auspices, a series of four his- 
torical lectures to help promote the interest of our mem- 
bers and also to raise money for our needs. 

On February 5, the Chapter donated $24.00 toward 
the Mrs. Harrison Portrait Fund in Washington, and on 
April 2, $25.00 toward a monument to be erected by the 
Mary Washington Memorial Association. 

On April 19, the Sons of the Revolution entertained 
our Chapter at a banquet at the St. Nicholas, where ad- 
dresses were made by some of its members, and by Mrs. 
A. Howard Hinkle and Mrs. Brent Arnold. Four years 
later this address of Mrs. Hinkle's was printed and pre- 
sented to the members of the Chapter, and copies were 
sent to the various schools with the request that it be 
read on April 19, in connection with their other exercises 
commemorating the Battle of Lexington. 

On November 5, 1894, Mrs. Henry B. Morehead was 
elected Regent. 

On the first of January, 1895, the Daughters held a 
reception at the St. Nicholas to commemorate the anni- 
versary of the unfurling of the first American flag. The 
Sons of the Revolution were our guests on this occasion, 

6 



and addresses were made by our Regent Mrs. Morehead, 
Rev. Dudley W. Rhodes, and Mrs. Hinkle. Miss Clara 
Chipman Newton read a history of the flag and a descrip- 
tion of our beautiful "Colonial flag," made for this occa- 
sion, which is a copy of the one raised over Washington's 
headquarters in Cambridge, January 2, 1776. 

At the Continental Congress, February, 1895, the Cin- 
cinnati Chapter was honored by the election of Mrs. A. 
Howard Hinkle as Vice-President General of the National 
Society, and she was reelected to the same office in 1896. 

Real Daughters 

Our Chapter has had the honor of numbering among 
its members one real Daughter of a Revolutionary hero, 
Mrs. Sarah Anderson Kendrick, and in November our 
Regent, Mrs. Morehead, presented to her the spoon which 
had been sent by the National Society in accordance with 
its custom of presenting one to each of its real Daugh- 
ters. There was another real Daughter in Cincinnati, 
Mrs. Lucinda Woods, but she was not a member of the 
D. A. R. Having been left without friends and without 
means, our Cha])ter helped her in many ways, paying her 
room rent and having her visited by some of our mem- 
bers and by a trained nurse. Madame Fredin gave an 
entertainment for her benefit, under our auspices, in the 
summer of 1895, at which she read a paper on Lafayette, 
and after Mrs. Woods' death in September, 1898, our 
Chapter paid her funeral expenses. 

Children of the American Revolution 

On October 20, 1895, the Fort Washington Chapter 
of the Children of the American Revolution was organ- 
ized by Mrs. Henry B. Morehead, under the auspices of 

7 



our Chapter, and it flourished for some years, reaching a 
membership of ninety. In 1903 meetings were discon- 
tinued until 1907, when it was revived with fifteen mem- 
bers. The Presidents were Mrs. Morehead, Mrs. Lowell 
Fletcher Hobart, Mrs. David T. Disney, Miss Anna Hyde 
Bird, and now again Mrs. Disney. 



On November 4, 1895, Mrs. William Judkins was 
elected Regent of our Chapter. 

During the winter of 1895-6 a number of afternoon 
meetings were held, for the purpose of historical study 
and social entertainment, at the residences of Mrs. Frank 
W. Wilson, Mrs. Alfred Buchanan, Mrs. Wilham H. 
Doane, Mrs. Franklin L. Perin, and Miss Mary T. 
Harrison. 

On November 21, 1895, Mrs. A. Howard Hinkle gave 
a reception to the Ohio State Regent, Mrs. Elroy M. 
Avery, who read a paper on "We and Our Ancestors." 

On December 31, many Daughters attended the Colo- 
nial Ball given by the Sons of the Revolution, to raise 
funds to purchase a statue of the Minute Man, on which 
occasion Mrs. A. Howard Hinkle, Vice-President General 
of the National Society of the Daughters of the American 
Revolution, led the grand march with Major Frank J. 
Jones, President of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the 
Revolution. 

The anniversary of the Battle of Lexington was for 
years celebrated by the Sons of the Revolution with re- 
ligious exercises and an address, on the Sunday falling 
nearest the date of the battle, and the members of our 
Chapter were always invited to attend. The first record 

8 



of these meetings is of the one held at the Mt. Auburn 
Presbyterian Church on April 19, 1896. 

On May 12, 1896, our Chapter cooperated with other 
patriotic societies in celebrating, at the Portrait Loan 
Exhibit in Music Hall, the anniversary of the Battle of 
Crown Point. 

In June of this year, the Chapter again united with 
other patriotic societies in sending out circulars calling 
attention to Flag Day. 

On November 2, 1896, Mrs. Judkins was reelected 
Regent. 

On June 7, 1897, Miss Annie Laws was elected 
Regent. 

In November, the Chapter was entertained by the 
Board of Management at an afternoon tea. 

On January 3, 1898, the experiment was tried, at the 
suggestion of Mrs. Henry Melville Curtis, of having the 
members register on entering the meeting, instead of 
having the roll called, which plan proved to be so great 
an improvement over the old method that it was perma- 
nently adopted. 

On January 5, 1898, the Chapter held a reception, to 
which Mrs. Adlai E. Stevenson, President General ; Mrs. 
Elroy M. Avery, Vice-President General; Mrs. Estes G. 
Rathbone, State Regent; Mrs. Henry Shepherd, chair- 
man of the Continental Hall Committee, and all of the 
Chapter Regents in Ohio were invited. 

The same month, we donated $30.00 toward the 
George Washington Memorial University in Washington. 

Our officers and the members of our Board of Man- 
agement were invited to an entertainment given by the 

9 



Colonial Dames on February 8, 1898, at the St. Nicholas, 
when Rev. Frank Woods Baker made an address. 

On February lo-ii, the Chapter held a very interest- 
ing Loan Exhibition of Revolutionary Relics, at the Lit- 
erary Club, under the general charge of Mrs. John W. 
Herron, Jr., chairman of the committee. 

On April 21, there was a meeting held at the Literary 
Club for the purpose of bringing more outsiders under 
the patriotic influence of our Society. All of the women 
in the various Mothers' Meetings connected with the Kin- 
dergarten Association were invited, and were given an 
impressive lesson in patriotism and the duty of mothers. 
Mrs. Murphy read a paper on "Why and How We 
Became a Nation," and Miss Hollister on "What Con- 
stitutes a Nation." Dr. Goss spoke on " How to Make 
Patriots," and Miss May Perin recited Paul Revere's 
Ride. 

On May 3, we gave a reception, to which members of 
other patriotic societies were invited. Rev. Yelverton 
Payton Morgan made an address on "The Anglo-Saxon 
Alliance." and Judge John Sanborn Conner on "Our 
Ancestors." 

In May, an exhibition was given of the Scribner's Col- 
lection of Revolutionary Pictures. During this exhibition 
we held an evening reception, to which representatives of 
the other patriotic societies were invited. 

On June 6, 1898, Miss Laws was reelected Regent. 

Work for the Soldiers 

In the summer of 1898, during the Spanish- American 
War, this Chapter accomplished a great work in aid of 
the soldiers. In the first place, three hundred and fifty 

10 



flannel bandages were made in May and sent to the sol- 
diers of the Sixth Regiment, from Fort Thomas, who were 
suffering from climatic influences in Florida. We after- 
ward joined the Daughters of the American Revolution 
Hospital Corps, started by the National Society, whose 
object was to provide suitable female trained nurses for 
the hospitals, necessary comforts for the sick soldiers, 
and to sew for the nurses and soldiers. The Daughters 
entered heartily into this work and labored untiringly 
during the hot summer, generally at the Woman's Club 
which was generously placed at our disposal. Besides all 
that we did ourselves, a great deal of outside help was 
given us by professional cutters, by institutions and by 
individuals. 

Mrs. William Judkins was general chairman of the 
Hospital Corps Committee until she left the city in August, 
when she was succeeded by Mrs. Thomas Kite. 

Miss Annie Laws, Regent, was chairman of the com- 
mittee for selecting and recommending female trained 
nurses, Mrs. Frank W. Wilson of the Cutting Commit- 
tee, Mrs. Brent Arnold of the Sewing and Distributing 
Committee, Mrs. J. M. Crawford of the Purchasing Com- 
mittee, and Mrs. Samuel Hunt of the Transportation 
Committee. 

Nearly three thousand garments were made by us 
and sent to the hospitals, among other things being one 
hundred and fifty dozen nurses' aprons, ordered by the 
National D. A. R. Army Corps, for which they donated 
part of the material. We cut them out and made them, 
and paid for the remainder of the material. 

Five hundred and forty-five dollars were raised and 
expended by us during the summer. 

11 



The Army and Navy League of Cincinnati did an 
immense work during this war, one branch of which being 
the estabHshment of an emergency hospital in the Little 
Miami Railroad Station. While not being officially con- 
nected with this hospital, our Chapter was in close touch 
with it, for it was under the control and management of 
one of our most indefatigable workers, Mrs. Frank W. 
Wilson. It was provided with cots and necessary pro- 
visions of all kinds, and a trained nurse and physician 
were constantly in attendance. All of the sick soldiers 
passing through that station were given nourishment and 
care, and during the summer one thousand were thus 
helped. 



In January, 1899, the Chapter donated $5.00 (the 
amount asked) toward a life membership in the "Mary 
Washington Society," to be presented to Mrs. McKinley 
by the D. A. R. of Ohio. 

On March 9, our Chapter, by invitation, attended the 
regular meeting of the Sons of the Revolution, and Mrs. 
Judkins made an address. 

On the evening of May 4, we entertained Mrs. Moses 
M. Granger, our new State Regent, on which occasion the 
Sons of the Revolution were invited and delegates from 
all the Chapters in the State. 

At the annual meeting, June 5, our By-Laws were 
amended so as to raise our annual dues to $3.00, thereby 
increasing our income. 

On July I, a tablet was unveiled at Fort Thomas in 
honor of the Sixth Regiment, and one to the memory of 
General Harry Clay Egbert. Our Chapter sent a wreath 

12 



to the Fort on this occasion, and a delegation of our 
members attended the exercises. 

On July 4, a very inspiring, patriotic, vocal concert 
was held in Burnet Woods, suggested by our Chapter, 
and toward the success of which we materially assisted. 

In December, 1899, on the suggestion of Mrs. Stephen 
Cooper Ayres, the Chapter paid a beautiful tribute of 
sympathy to one of our members, Mrs. General Harry 
Clay Egbert, whose husband had recently been killed in 
battle in the Philippines, by making her a life member of 
the Chapter. 

End of First Era 

We have now come to the end of the first era in the 
history of our Chapter, which from a small beginning had 
grown to a roll of two hundred and sixty-nine members. 
The papers read before it were interesting and instruct- 
ive and of high literary merit, the social meetings were 
delightful and bristled with patriotism, and the patriotic 
work done was admirable. Not only had the Chapter 
grown in numbers, but in strength ; and it was regarded 
in the city as one of the influential societies of women 
working for the good of the community. 

Beginning of Second Era 

The year 1899 was the most eventful year in our his- 
tory, being not only the closing year of the first era, but 
the opening year of the second, in which patriotic edu- 
cation was the keynote of our work ; it also saw the 
beginning of five important branches of work, viz. : the 
improvement of our Application Papers, the publishing 
of the Song Book, the founding of the Fellowship in the 

13 



University of Cincinnati, the establishing of the Neigh- 
borhood Patriotic Meetings, and the Marking of the Site 
of Fort Washington ; besides which, in this year, the 
Chapter reached its maximum membership. We Httle 
thought then what an epoch-making year we were in. 

Changes in Application Papers 

In January, 1899, our Chapter called the attention 
of the National Board to imperfections existing in the 
D. A. R. Application Papers, but for good reasons the 
matter was not brought before the Congress until the 
following year, when it was very forcibly presented by 
our delegates. There had been no data on the outside of 
the folded papers for the purpose of labeling them, and 
neither the name of the applicant nor even of the Society 
appeared. At this Congress of 1900, a change was decided 
upon by which the papers should have the necessary data 
on the outside. The papers then issued have been in use 
until the present time; new ones have now been 'ssued 
with no data on the outside for identification. Our Chap- 
ter started an effort again in February, 1908, to have 
this new issue set aside and replaced by another suitably 
marked, so that our papers might compare favorably in 
appearance and convenience with those of other patriotic 
societies. It is yet too early for any results. 

Song Books 

In April, 1899, the Chapter published a collection of 
patriotic songs called "National Songs for Open-air Sing- 
ing," for the purpose of placing them in the hands of the 
audiences at our park concerts, for chorus singing, hoping 
that this would stimulate among the people a greater 
knowledge and love of these beautiful songs. 

14 



Soon after publishing these books, the fact was brought 
to our attention that some of the songs incUided in them 
were copyrighted. This fact was investigated, and the 
three pubHshers owning the copyrights, The John Church 
Company, OHver Ditson Company, and The S. Brainard's 
Sons Company, were communicated with, and very gra- 
ciously waived their rights for the time being, on certain 
conditions, with which we gladly complied. In the later 
edition, two of these songs had to be dropped, and they 
were replaced by others written for the purpose, "The 
Freedom of Cuba," by Miss Ella Strait Hollister, and 
"Standard of a Nation's Pride," by Mrs. Virginia G. 
Ellard. During this year and the next there were fifteen 
thousand of these books printed, and they have now all 
been distributed over the country. 

Four thousand were given to the Park Superintendent 
to be used by the audiences at our Park Concerts, 

One thousand were given to the Superintendent of 
Schools, at his request, so that one book might be placed 
in each school room and the songs taught to all the chil- 
dren in the Public Schools, 

Three hundred to soldiers starting from Fort Thomas 
to the Philippines, 

Three hundred to Berea College, 

Three hundred to the Ohio State Conference, D. A. R. 

One thousand were used in bringing them to the atten- 
tion of the public, and smaller numbers were given to the 
Soldiers' Club at Fort Thomas, the College Settlement, 
the University Settlement, the Young Women's Christian 
Association, the Neighborhood Patriotic Meetings, the 
soldiers of the battleship Kentucky, and the Children of 
the Republic. 

15 



In round numbers there were one thousand used in 
advertising, seven thousand given away for patriotic use, 
and seven thousand sold for use over the country. 

While our song book was published for the purpose 
of encouraging singing at our park concerts, it was found, 
after a year's trial, to be impracticable to place it in the 
hands of every one, as the audiences sometimes numbered 
ten or twelve thousand people. So the plan was adopted 
of having folded programs used instead of single ones, 
and of having three songs printed on the three extra 
pages. As these programs were provided in great num- 
bers, they reached every one in the audience. The 
Schmidlapp Music Fund Committee, through Mr. Edward 
Goepper, paid this extra expense for the Eden Park pro- 
grams, and Mr. Reuben Warder, Park Superintendent, 
and our Song Book Committee shared the expense for 
Burnet Woods. It was also found necessary during both 
summers of 1899 and 1900 to provide a leader for the 
singing, and Mr. O. N. Bush kindly filled this position for 
us for a very moderate compensation ; but the expenses, 
altogether, were greater than the income from the song 
book warranted, and we were obliged, with great regret, 
after 1900, to give up the chorus singing in the parks, 
after carrying it on successfully for two years. 

New Work Outlined 

On June 5, 1899, Mrs. John A. Murphy was elected 
Regent, and at the first meeting following in October, she 
outlined the plan of work which she was anxious the 
Chapter should undertake, and her plan was adopted. 

In the first place, one-half of the income from annual 
dues was to be set apart as a " Patriotic Work and Emer- 

16 



gency Fund," to be drawn against only by order of the 
Board to defray the expense of any special object under- 
taken by the Chapter. In the next place there were to be 
two new committees appointed by the Regent, one for the 
purpose of promoting patriotism in schools and colleges, 
and the other to establish Neighborhood Patriotic Meet- 
ings in various parts of the city. 

Mrs. Murphy appointed Mrs. Brent Arnold chairman 
of the first committee and Miss Annie Laws general 
chairman of the second. 

D. A. R. Fellowship 

The first work undertaken by the Committee for the 
Promotion of Patriotism in Schools and Colleges was 
the founding of a Post-graduate Fellowship in American 
History in the University of Cincinnati. This was soon 
accomplished on the following basis, viz. : that it was to 
be purely honorary until such time as we should have 
endowed it with a sum of money sufficiently large to yield 
annually $100.00 interest, after which time the sum of 
$100.00 was to be awarded each year with the Fellowship. 

The amount required seemed very large for the Chap- 
ter to raise, but the members entered enthusiastically into 
the work. Mrs. Arnold was a most efficient chairman of 
the General Committee, and was indefatigable from the 
beginning to the end ; there was a special chairman and a 
sub-committee for each of the different entertainments, 
all of whom were most capable and untiring, and but for 
whose zealous energy our endowment would never have 
been completed ; but they are too numerous to mention 
here, even if it were possible to get all their names. 

The following is a list of the delightful entertain- 

17 



merits given for the purpose of raising money for this 
object, viz. : 

November, 1899. Private Theatricals in Glendale, 
given by Mrs. Harry R. Probasco. 

January 10, 1900. A Japanese Tea, under the direc- 
tion of Mrs. Arnold, at the residence of Mrs. Joseph C. 
Thoms, when Mrs. Sugimoto gave a talk on the "Life 
and Habits of Japanese Women and Children." 

January 24, 1900. A Russian Tea, under the direction 
of Mrs. Arnold, at the residence of Mrs. J. M. Crawford, 
when Dr. Crawford gave an illustrated lecture on Russia, 
based upon personal experiences. 

January 31, 1900. A Kaffee Klatsch, under the direc- 
tion of Mrs. Arnold, at the residence of Mrs. John A. 
Murphy, when a Peasant Fete, arranged by Mrs. Leopold 
Markbreit, was given. 

June 14, 1900. A Flag Day Fete at College Hill, in 
the Town Hall and the residence of Mrs. Adam Gray, 
under her direction, on which occasion Dr. Daniel Millikin 
made an address on "The Day We Celebrate and the 
Glorious American Flag," and Rev. Charles F. Goss on 
"The Flag as a Symbol." 

November 13, 1900. Lecture by Madame Fredin on 
"Paris and the Exposition," at the residence of Mrs, 
Oliver Perin, under the direction of Mrs. Arnold. 

January 31, 1901. An Afternoon with the Moors, 
under the direction of Mrs. John S. Conner, at the resi- 
dence of Mrs. H. H. Bechtel, when some of the customs 
of the country were shown in action by young people, 
and a paper on "The Land of the Moors" was given by 
Mrs. William M. Ampt. 

18 



April, 1901. An Operetta at the Odeon, under the 
direction of Mrs. Arnold, but gotten up by Mrs. Nina 
Pugh Smith. 

December 5, 6, 7, 1901. A Luncheon at 125 West 
Fifth Street, under the direction of Mrs. Arnold. 

Besides the money raised in this way, there were lib- 
eral donations from the Chapter and from individuals. 
But the last twenty-five dollars were given by Mrs. John 
A. Murphy, who, having inaugurated the movement for 
the Fellowship, then had the pleasure of seeing her dona- 
tion complete the Endowment Fund of $3,350.00. 

The Fellowship was founded in the autumn of 1899, 
the agreement between our Chapter and the Endowment 
Fund Association of the University of Cincinnati was 
signed the 22d of January, 1900, and the last money was 
paid over and our endowment completed December 23, 
1902. The "Cincinnati Chapter of the Daughters of the 
American Revolution Fellowship in American History" 
was then established in the University of Cincinnati for 
all time. 

This was the first endowed Fellowship established in 
the University of Cincinnati, but there were one endowed 
and two honorary scholarships preceding it. 

The Fellowship has been awarded to the following 
persons, viz. : 

1900. November 5. Mr. George W. Johnston, A.M. 

1901, June 3. Miss Charlotte Wright, A.B., later 
A.M., wdio resigned during the summer, as she was to be 
away from the city. 

1901, December 2. Miss Mabel Carpenter. 
1903, January 5. Miss Alice McGufifey Morrill, A.B., 
later A.M. 

19 



1904, February. Miss Josephine Smith, A.B. 

1904, November 7. Dr. Isaac JosHn Cox, Ph.D. 

1905, November 6. Mr. Frank Parker Goodwin, A.M. 

1906, November 6. Miss Helen Louise Stein, A.M. 

1907, December 16. Miss Marie F. Dickore, A.B. 

Neighborhood Patriotic Meetings 

The Neighborhood Patriotic Meetings, decided upon 
in 1899, were estabHshed in four different neighborhoods 
among native and foreign-born women, for the diffusion 
of knowledge of our history and of the principles of our 
government. These meetings were all in charge of enthu- 
siastic D. A. R. members under a general chairman, and 
were held each month during the winter. Historical 
papers, written for the meetings, were read by our ladies, 
which, with music, talks, and the singing of patriotic 
songs, made an interesting program, after which a social 
half hour was spent, with light refreshments. These 
meetings are really elementary schools of patriotism. So 
highly do the women appreciate the work which is being 
clone for them and for their boys in the Children of the 
Republic that they have frequently gotten up entertain- 
ments and raised money to help defray some special 
expenses of the latter. Mass meetings are held every 
spring, at which the members of all the different meet- 
ings unite in a general patriotic occasion, when they are 
addressed by some well known professional man as well 
as by our members. Patriotic songs form quite a feature 
at all of their meetings, and their fervor in singing often 
exceeds our own. Some of the women sing solos, and 
one has written several short patriotic poems for these 
occasions. The general chairmen of the Neighborhood

Patriotic Meetings have been Miss Annie Laws, Miss Ella 
S. Hollister, Mrs. Thomas Kite, Mrs. Lee C. Harris, and 
Miss B. Dorothy Fulton. The following have been chair- 
men of the different meetings, viz. : Mrs. John A. Bech- 
tel, Mrs. Stephen C. Ayres, Mrs. Lee C. Harris, Mrs. 
Thomas Kite, Miss Anne P. Burkam, Mrs. Charles J. 
Hunt, Mrs. Ernest W. Osborne, Mrs. Lowell Fletcher 
Hobart, and Miss B. Dorothy Fulton. 

Site of Fort Washington 

Another work started in 1899, and one of the most 
interesting- in which, with other patriotic societies, our 
Chapter took an active part, was the marking of the site 
of old Fort Washington. The fort was built in 1789, on 
the government reservation which was bounded by Broad- 
way, Fourth Street, Ludlow Street, and the river, and 
was torn down in 1808, when the reservation was sub- 
divided, sold in lots, and built upon. In the course of 
years these facts passed from public knowledge, and opin- 
ions differed as to the location of the fort, and even of the 
reservation. Interest in the subject revived a few )'-ears 
ago, and efforts were made to accurately locate the fort. 

In the autumn of 1899, Mrs. Peirce J. Cadwalader 
found in a little book, printed in 181 5. a map of the fort, 
giving its location in the city. She succeeded in having 
this map verified as accurate, and made a report of it to 
the Chapter, at the same time suggesting that a monument 
be placed there to commemorate this historical spot. 

In January, 1900, Mrs. Frank W. Wilson urged that 
an effort be made to mark the location of the fort, and 
suggested that we invite the other patriotic societies of 
Ohio to unite with us in this movement. This suggestion 

21 



was adopted and acted upon by the Chapter, and in due 
course of time a beautiful and appropriate monument was 
erected on Third Street, near the center of the old fort, 
this Chapter paying $80.00, its full share of the expense. 

This monument was unveiled, with patriotic exercises, 
on June 14, 1901, the first Flag Day of the twentieth cen- 
tury, and, in recognition of her valuable discovery, Mrs. 
Cadwalader was given the honor of unveiling it. 

This closes the account of the various branches of 
work commenced in 1899. The records now go back to 
the beginning of the next year, 1900. 



An invitation was received from the Sons of the Rev- 
olution to attend a banquet to be given by them on Jan- 
uary 16, 1900, at the Burnet House, and the Chapter sent 
two delegates to represent it. 

Owing to the crowding out of our literary programs 
at the regular meetings, by the press of business, Mrs. 
Murphy invited the Chapter to a series of literary after- 
noons at her house, which were much enjoyed. They 
were held on February 12, April 9, and one in June, 1900. 

Mrs. Murphy was reelected Regent on June 4, 1900, 
and held the office until February, 1901, when, at the Con- 
tinental Congress, she was elected State Regent of Ohio. 
This, of course, left our Regency vacant, and Mrs. Her- 
bert Jenney, Vice-Regent, became Regent in her place. 
Mrs. Jenney served until the following June, but declined 
a reelection. 

Our Chapter had gradually collected some interesting 
and valuable relics, and in the summer of 1900 they were 
placed in a glass case in the Art Museum. 

22 



The American Memorial Library in Manila was 
opened in 1900, for the benefit of our soldiers and sailors 
in the Philippines, and Mrs. Harry Clay Egbert was made 
Librarian. An "Ohio Alcove" was fitted up in it and 
supplied with books by the D. A. R. of Ohio, and our 
Chapter sent donations of both money and books. Mrs. 
Stephen Cooper Ayres was the first chairman of the com- 
mittee having this in charge, and she was succeeded by 
Miss Grace M. Cheever. 

On the evening of January 11, 1901, a reception was 
given at the Literary Club to our first Fellow in the Uni- 
versity, Mr. G. W. Johnston, on which occasion he and 
General Benjamin R. Cowen addressed us. 

April I, the Chapter indorsed a petition of the Kin- 
dergarten Association to the Board of Education and the 
School Board, to formally consider the question of incor- 
porating the kindergartens into the public school work 
and to set aside some portion of their funds for this 
purpose. 

June 3, 1901, Miss Ella Strait Hollister was elected 
Regent. 

In the Flower Parade of the Fall Festival Association, 
September 16, 1901, our Chapter was represented by a 
carriage beautifully trimmed in white chrysanthemums 
and blue corn flowers, in which were two attractive young 
girls, Miss Marianna Pauly and Miss Louise Whitaker. 

Children of the Republic 

In the fall of 1901, a new Society, called Children of 
the Republic, was founded by our State Regent, Mrs. 
John A. Murphy, the object of which was to instill a love 
of our country and a knowledge of our history and of our 

23 



laws into the hearts of children. This work was approved 
by the Chapter and accepted as part of its patriotic work, 
and it has ever since been very successfully carried on. 
Clubs have been organized in different parts of the city, 
each with its own name, but all having a badge in com- 
mon, a white button with a blue C and a red R. The 
boys have historical papers, and debates on topics of cur- 
rent interest, which were at first written for them by the 
ladies, but they now prefer to write all of their own papers, 
which fact certainly shows increased interest. They are 
taught civics as well as the national forms of government, 
and are learning to preside over and conduct their meet- 
ings in a very manly way. Mrs. John A. Murphy was 
the founder of this work, which was first adopted by our 
Chapter and afterward by the Ohio State Conference as 
a patriotic work for the whole State, since which time 
Mrs. Murphy has been State Chairman. The work has 
now been taken up by the National Society, and she is 
also National Chairman of the Children of the Republic 

The City Chairmen have been Miss Anne P. Burkam, 
who has worked with Mrs. Murphy from the very begin- 
ning. Miss Nellie A. Bechtel, and Miss Lucy D. Ambrose, 
all of whom deserve the greatest credit. The clubs are: 

The William McKinley Club, Miss Anne P. Burkam, 
Directress. 

The Theodore Roosevelt Club, Mrs. Harry R. Pro- 
basco, Directress. 

The U. S. Grant Club, Miss Nellie A. Bechtel and 
Miss Lucy D. Ambrose, Directresses. 

The Abraham Lincoln Club, Miss Hopkins, Directress, 
afterward Mrs. Charles J. Hunt. 

24 



The Daniel Webster Club, Miss Sarah S. Parks, Direc- 
tress, afterward given up. 

The WilHam Henry Harrison Club, Miss Florence 
Schulte, Directress. 

The George Washington Club, Miss Grace M. Cheever, 
Directress. 

The Oliver Hazard Perry Club, Mr. August H. Heyn, 
Director. 

]\Iass meetings of all the clubs are held annually, on 
or near the 19th of April, the anniversary of the Battle 
of Lexington, when they are addressed by the founder, 
by the Regent, and by some well known man. Tlie gen- 
eral topic at these meetings is Good Citizenship, for the 
great aim in all this work is to make the boys good citi- 
zens and patriotic Americans. Among those who have 
given helpful and inspiring talks to the boys at these 
annual meetings are Mr. Charles Benedict, Rev. Charles 
F. Goss, Captain Elias R. Monfort, Mr. Milton A. A^lcRea, 
Mr. 'I'homas H. Darby. Mr. Harry L. Gordon, Mr. D. 
DeMott Woodmansee, Rev. Frank H. Nelson, and Rev. 
Robert Watson. 

In the spring of 1907, a graduate club was formed, 
called the vSons of the Republic, Miss Bechtel, Directress, 
which is composed of boys promoted from the Children 
of the Republic after they are sixteen years of age. In 
October, on invitation of the State Regent, they attended 
the Ninth Ohio State Conference of the D. A. R. at 
Xenia, and gave a model meeting, and also a represen- 
tation in costume of the Second Continental Congress, 
which they had given at our Flag Day Fete in 1906.

Third Ohio State Conference 

The Third Ohio State Conference met in the Scottish 
Rite Cathedral, in Cincinnati, October 31 and Novem- 
ber I, 1901, by invitation of our Chapter, and was most 
hospitably entertained. Luncheon was served at the 
Cathedral on both days to the members of the Confer- 
ence, and two beautiful receptions were given to them, one 
by Mrs. A. Howard Hinkle, at the St. Nicholas, on the 
afternoon of October 30, and the other by Mrs. Stephen 
Cooper Ayres, at her residence, on the evening of Octo- 
ber 31. This Conference was graced by the presence 
of Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, President General of the 
National Society D. A. R., and Mrs. John Herron Cross- 
man, Vice-President General for New York. 



January 7, 1902, Mrs. Murphy gave a reception at the 
Burnet House to the Vice State Regent of Ohio and the 
Cincinnati Chapter. 

In February, 1902, our Regent, Miss HoUister, re- 
signed on account of ill health, and Mrs. Thomas Kite, 
Vice-Regent, became Regent in her place. 

June 2, 1902, Mrs. Thomas Kite was reelected Regent. 

October 17, the Chapter held a reception at the Lit- 
erary Club. 

At the Continental Congress, February, 1903, our 
Chapter was again honored by having Mrs. Murphy 
elected Vice-President General of the National Society. 

In May, 1903, $50.00 was given toward the John 
Marshall Newton Memorial Alcove in the Young Men's 
Mercantile Library. 

26 



June I, 1903, Mrs. Thomas Kite was reelected Regent. 

February i, 1904, the Chapter sent a protest to the 
Board of PubHc Service against the condemnation of 
property for park purposes on which the Lytle Home- 
stead stood. 

In February, a musical lecture was given at the Audi- 
torium by Mrs. C. W. Rhodes, of New York, under the 
auspices of our Chapter. 

May 2, a petition was sent to the School Board, re- 
questing that it be made obligatory in the Public Schools 
that every child be taught the words of the " Star Span- 
gled Banner" and "America," and that they be taught to 
rise and remain standing while either is being sung or 
played. Dr. Dyer, Superintendent of Schools, replied to 
this petition that these two songs would be included in the 
new course of study and be taught to the children. 

In May, 1904, it was decided, on the suggestion of 
Miss Nellie A. Bechtel, that we hold an Annual Meet- 
ing on Flag Day, June 14, to which we could invite our 
friends. 

Mrs. Adam Gray was elected Regent on June 6, 1904. 

A reception was given at the Woman's Club on Octo- 
ber 27. 

When Dr. Charles W. Dabney was inaugurated Pres- 
ident of the University of Cincinnati at Music Hall, 
November 16, 1904, delegates from our Chapter were 
invited to attend. 

March 6, 1905, Rev. George A. Thayer presented the 
aims and the needs of the Juvenile Court to the Chapter 
and solicited our interest and our aid. We afterward 
sent a donatton of $25.00 toward that work. 

June 5, 1905, Mrs. Adam Gray was reelected Regent. 

27 



The first of our annual Flag Day Celebrations was 
held at the Country Club, June 14, 1905, and was most 
successful in every way. Rev. Dudley W. Rhodes made 
a stirring address on "The Flag — Our Flag," and Mrs. 
William E. Lewis recited an interesting Colonial Ro- 
mance. The Children of the Republic gave an attractive 
flag drill, and afterward, under the direction of Miss 
Lucy D. Ambrose, a very interesting history of the flag 
during the Colonial period, illustrated with the different 
flags. 

October 2, the Chapter sent to the D. A. R. Hospital 
Corps $1.00, the amount asked, toward the expense of a 
monument to be erected where are buried the nurses who 
lost their lives in the Spanish-American War. 

On October 2^, a reception was given to Mrs. Donald 
McLean, President General D. A. R. 

In November, a flag was donated to a school in North 
Carolina, where one had never been seen by many of 
the children, and in December we donated $25.00 toward 
restoring and preserving the home of Paul Revere, the 
oldest house in Boston. 

Mrs. Gray resigned as Regent in March. 1906, on 
account of absence from the city, and Mrs. Peirce J. 
Cadwalader, Vice-Regent, succeeded her. 

In April, our support was asked for a bill before our 
State Legislature which would strengthen and improve 
the Juvenile Court. A telegram was sent from the Chap- 
ter to Representative Thomas B. Paxton, Jr., stating that 
the D. A. R. were strongly in favor of this bill, and 
requesting him to withdraw his opposition. 

Mrs. Cadwalader was reelected Regent on June 4, 
1906. 

28 



At our second Flag Day Celebration on June 14, 1906, 
Rabbi Philipson made a scholarly and inspiring address, 
and the Children of the Republic gave, besides a flag drill, 
a beautiful representation in costume, under the direc- 
tion of Miss Lucy D. Ambrose, of the Second Conti- 
nental Congress, at which Congress the Declaration of 
Independence was signed. 

As the work of our Chapter gradually increased, there 
was frequently not enough time at our meetings for both 
the business and the literary program. The plan was 
inaugurated at the November meeting, 1906, of devoting 
alternate meetings to each of them ; one being devoted 
entirely to business and the next to a literary or musical 
program, after a few moments being allotted to business. 

On November 19, we held a reception in honor of 
Mrs. Edward Orton, Jr., Regent of Columbus Chapter. 

In December, 1906, a petition was sent to Mr. J. W. 
Rodgers, of the Park Commission, asking for more play 
grounds for the children. 

At the meeting on May 6, 1907, Mrs. Cadwalader, 
Regent, presented to the Ex-Regents of the Chapter, Ex- 
Regent pins, which had been approved by the State Con- 
ference and adopted by our Chapter. 

On June 3, 1907, Mrs. John Adams Bechtel was 
elected Regent. 

At the Flag Day Celebration at the Country Club on 
June 14, 1907, an appropriate address was delivered by 
Rev. Robert Watson, after which the Children of the 
Republic gave^an intricate flag drill, followed by "A Little 
Story of Our Nation and Our Flag," written for their 
Society by Mrs. Herbert Jenney. A boy from each of the 
seven clubs gave one of the seven chapters, and the evo- 

29 



lution of "Old Glory" from the British flag was shown 
by means of a series of five beautiful flags. Our new 
Regent, Mrs. John A. Bechtel, was then introduced, and 
after an address to her "Daughters" she presented to the 
retiring Regent, Mrs. Cadwalader, the Ex-Regent's pin, 
which is so highly prized by all who have received it. 

On July 17, 1907, the Chapter lost by death its first 
Regent, Mrs. Brent Arnold. She was one of our char- 
ter members, and was for over fourteen years a faithful, 
indefatigable, and successful worker. She was honored 
and beloved by us all. 

In November, the Chapter donated $25.00 toward the 
expenses of the Ohio Valley History Conference, held in 
this city during Thanksgiving week, at which Conference 
Mrs. Murphy read a paper giving a full account of the 
work done by our Chapter. 

Up to this time the Chapter had been in the habit of 
sending $100.00 each year to Washington to the Conti- 
nental Hall Fund, but had never raised any money out- 
side for it, but on December 3, 1907, an entertainment, 
under the direction of Mrs. Adam Gray, was given for 
this purpose at the Conservatory of Music, Miss Baur 
very kindly donating her hall. The program consisted of 
a bright little play, The Kleptomaniac, and a musical pro- 
gram, after which there were recitations in negro dialect 
by Miss Nannie Barbee, of Kentucky. This entertain- 
ment was so successful that, with the Chapter's usual 
donation, it was able to send $350.00 to the Continental 
Hall Fund. 

On February 17, 1908, the Chapter indorsed the work 
of the Chief Inspector of Workshops and Factories in 
Ohio, in regard to child labor, and petitioned our Sen- 

30 



ator and Representatives to help pass certain laws, then 
before the House, in regard to child labor and compulsory 
education. 

The last meeting in our fifteenth year, April 20, 1908, 
was an unusual one, owing to the fact that the Regent, 
the two Vice-Regents, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and 
the Historian were all in Washington attending the Con- 
tinental Congress. But this did not impair the success of 
the meeting, as our able Ex-Regent, Mrs. Thomas Kite, 
was in the chair. 

In all these years the interest and devotion of 
our members have not grown less. Our work has gone 
steadily on and much has been accomplished, and there 
can be no doubt that this work of the Cincinnati Chapter 
compares favorably with that of the other Chapters of the 
Daughters of the American Revolution throughout the 
United States.
